Having the right gear is essential for any wilderness trip. With much thought and preparation, the following list of survival tools have been selected to accompany us on our Yukon River trip.


Most of these items can be purchased directly through this website, excluding firearms and a handful of other specialty items. If we cannot supply these items to you, there is a link to available vendors.


More products will be added to this list as the organization of our trip progresses!
